1. Cancun -- Cancun Airport
   In the early 1950s Cancun was a virtually unpopulated and undeveloped island just off the Caribbean Sea coast of the Yucatán peninsula. It was home to three caretakers of a coconut plantation and small Pre-Columbian ruins of the Maya civilization. The government of Mexico decided to develop a tourist resort on Cancun, which was originally financed by a $27 million dollar loan from the Inter-American Development Bank. A causeway was built to link Cancun to the mainland, and an international airport was built, along with what was at first a model city for workers, complete with housing, schools and medical facilities. On the opposite side of the island from the Caribbean Sea is Nichupte Lagoon, which is used for boat and snorkelling tours of the area.
2. Mexico Vacation
   These new upscale beach front Mexico Vacation rentals are located in Tankah, just south of Akumal, in the Mexican Caribbean south of Cancun. This pristine Bay, known as Soliman, offers over 2 miles of white sand beach with great snorkeling and diving. Each home has 3 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, full kitchen and spacious living room and is distinctly Caribbean in style. Each villa is approximately 2,500 square feet. Simply paradise.
3. Cancun Mexico
   In Cancun Mexico there are about 140 hotels with 24,000 rooms and 380 restaurants. Four million visitors arrive each year in an average of 190 flights daily. The hotel zone is one of the most exclusive internationally, with upmarket restaurants, bars, and the like which have catered for quite a number of the rich and famous. The hotel zone tends to be rather expensive as it is aimed at visitors and relies on the all inclusive hotels to keep them all in this area allowing prices to soar. Downtown is home to less expensive places to shop like Walmart, Comercial Mexicana and Soriana, not to mention several flea markets like the one in the hotel zone.
4. Snorkeling -- Snorkeling Tour
   Snorkeling Tours include snorkeling gear, refreshments and fruits, and guide service. For your comfort, snorkeling tours are on a 25 foot boat with overhead protection. Life jackets and radio are always aboard. Just bring a towel and wear your bathing suit!
5. El Cid
   El Cid is a marina condo/hotel all-inclusive resort all rolled into one, and they have one of the only marinas on the Mexican Caribbean coast (the other two being Cancun and Puerto Aventuras). El Cid's location, one mile south of Puerto Morelos town center, is private and serene. Their amenities are top-notch with exquisite room interiors and a 22,000 sq.ft. beach front pool.
6. Morelia -- Mexico City
   With a consistent colonial-style throughout, Morelia is one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico. It is not really on the well-trodden path of the leisure tourists and so you can walk around in comfort without fear of the bermuda shorts crowds. Morelia is the capital of the state of Michoacan in Mexico and it is a registered UNESCO World Heritage site. There are at least two "information" booths in the area of the square. They are staffed with multilingual students who are very helpful
